New Site Steers Drivers Away from Backups

So you're dashing out of the house to meet the train or make a soccer practice drop-off, and you run right into a construction project and traffic's going nowhere. When did this happen? When's this work going to be over? Now--answers--and in real time. The Connecticut Department of Transportation's launched an interactive travel map that lets you scan the entire state from your driveway and beyond, highlighting any problems or projects that might make you miss your movie. The site lists construction and wrecks, and even lets you tune in traffic cameras if you need to have a look for yourself. When we logged on, we found a warning of road delays in Darien along I-95, resurfacing on Hales Road in Westport, construction on Route 7 in Wilton and ongoing work to replace the Route 123 bridge over the Norwalk River. So surf to http://www.dotdata.ct.gov/iti/master_iti.html, and then fly.
